A Great Victory
A Terrible Case Of Scrofula
Cured by
Hoods SarsapariIla

" In the winter of 1873 was attacked with
Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms
At one time l had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and aroundmy neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intoerable to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, l was worse than ever
Finally, on the recommendation of W. j.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, was induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparila. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months. the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased. and the assesses have all
disappeared. except the unsightly scars, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees. and

Two Kinds OF Soldiers.

Some of our soldiers take pride in
saying that the war is over, that we are
now one nation, and that people who
excite or encourage sectional jealousy
are attempting to prevent the one
ideal result of the confiict-the creation
of a country united in sentiment as
we'll as in name. Such soldiers as these
have made themselves heard time and
again. They have invited former rebel
soldiers to be present at meetings of
the Grand Army of the Republic
After the Charleston earthquake they
sent South generous contributions and
patriotic words. 1t is very common
thing for them to participate with
former rebel soldiers in reunions.
Such reunion occurred recently in
Kentucky, and another will next year
be held in this city. At such reunions
old flags have sometimes been ex-
changed.
Other soldiers are very different.
These cannot forget that the North
was right and that the South was
wrong. When excited they some-
times talk as if they thought the war
still raging. 1t is altogether natural
that thousands of our soldiers should
be fouEd in this second class. War is
not child's play. 1t leaves behind it
death, destruction, and, worst of all,
passion.- Gin. Post.

LAS ONE OF THE GIRLS"
Mrs. Cleveland's Wish as to Her Par
ticipation in the Commencement
Festivities at Wells College,

AURORA, N. Y, June 1S.-Last even
ing Mrs. Cleveland attended the recep-
ton and banquet given by the Phoenix
Society in honor Of the graduating class
of Wells College. This organization
is one of the most exclusive of the in
stitution, but the fact of the distin-
guished guest being an ex-member
gained her full entree to the festivities.
The souvenirs of the event were in
the form ofprinted copies of original
verses, setting forth the praises of the
society's guest, emblems with hand
painted daisies, the daisy having beed
chosen as the class-fiower for 'S7.
In accordance with her request to al
low all formality to be abandoned in
her entertainment, and to be permitted
to enter into the merriment of the oc-
casion simply "as one of the girls" the
event was not distinguished by the
affected dignity and precision peculiar
to entertainments at which Mrs. Cleve-
land has been guest.
In addition to college exercises, it is
probable that Mrs. Cleveland will also
attend the commencement of the
Cayuga Lake Military Academy on
tuesday afternoon.

Millions Exposed to Danger.

The count of the cash in the United
States Treasury, which is now in pro-
gress, has developed the fact that the
vault capacity is entirely inadequate
for the safe handling of the silver. The
silver vault was filled to its utmost ca
pacity some time ago, and there still
remained about eight million standard
dollars which for want of a better
place were piled in bags in the passage
way leading to the vault. In making
the count these bags had to be removed
to an outside hall, where they now re-
main protected from outside interfer-
ence by nothing but pine board par
tition. 1t, therefore, has to be guarded
at all times by watchmen employed in
the building, who are armed with re-
volvers during the day and with re-
peating rifles during the night. Every
precaution has been taken to prevent
its being tampered with while in its
exposed condition. The count will
last five. weeks more, and the silver
can not be returned to the vault room
until that is concluded. In the mean
time work is being pushed on the new
silver vault authorized by the last
Congress. 1t will have storage capac.
ity for one hundred million standard

IGNORANT BLACKS.
THEY PROPOSE TO MURDER
WHITE MEN,.
Take the Ladies for Wives and the
Children for Slaves.
Secret Meetings Being Held and Incen-
diary Speeches Made in Laurens
County, Georgia.

COLUMBIA, S. c., June 1S.-Gover-
nor Richardson to-day received infor-
nation from a prominent citizen of
Cedar Grove, Laurens County, to the
effect that the negroes of that neighbor-
hood and the adjacent part of Spartan
burg County have organized them
selves into secret clubs, osteRsibly as
Knights of Labor, and are holding
frequent meetings of an incendiary
character. the object of which is to de-
mand of the white farmers an increase
of their wages to ST and $l.50 day,
and in the event of their demands not
being complied with they propose to
exterminate the white people and take
possession of their lands. These meet
ingI are held three times week, be-
tween midnight and a. M. Pickets
are posted around the place of meeting,
aud the utmost secrecy is Observed
Speeches are made, in which the lead
ers say they will kill all the white men
and the old women, take the young
women for their wives and make the
white children work for them as slaves.
One of the speakers at recent meet
ing expected his hearers to "burn and
kill out the whites, and, if necessary,
go down to your graves with bloody
feet.n
The Governors informant states that
an outbreak may be expected at any
moment, and makes an urgent appeal
for help. He also says that the white
citizens have organized Il cavalry COM
pany of fifty men, but they need arms
and ammunition, which they urge the
State authorities to supply them with
Immediately. The negroes, it is'said,
are we'll supplied with arms and ammu-
milton. Adjutant-General Bonham be-
ing absent, the Governor has ordered
Colonel Scoffin, the Assistant Adjutant
General, to repair to the scene of the
disturbance, investigate the matter and
report at once. A full supply of Spring
field carbines and ammunition for fifty
men are ready for shipment to Laurens.
The Governor this afternoon expressed
to your correspondent his intention to
act promptly and vigorously in this
matter, and quell the threatened in
surrection at the very outset. Should
this report of the investigation of the
Assistant Adjutant- General verify the
information already in possession OF
the Governor, several companies of the
Volunteer State troops will be sent tC
Laurens to protect the lives and prop
erty of the white people. 1t is believed
that these ignorant negroes are acting
: under the direction of Hiram Hoover
! the mIschievous labor agitator who
visited that section about two months
ago, and who was subsequently, shot
almost to death by vigilance com
mittee at Warrenton, Ga.

Give them q Chance.

That is to say, your lungs. Also all your
breathing machinery. Very wonderful ma
chinery it is. Not only the larger air-pass-
ages, but the thousands of little tubes and
cavities leading from them.
When these are clogged and choked with
matter which ought not to be there, your
lungs cannot half do their work. And what
thsy do, the cannot do we'll.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneumonia, ca
tarrh, consumption or any of the family of

tions, all are bad. All ought to be got rid of.
There is just one sure way to get rid of them.

Many United States pensioners of
foreign birth, reside abroad, and their
money is drawn for them through our
consulates. In Germany alone there
are $4,000 residents whose names are
on our pension roll. This money goes
to men who have practically reverted
to their foreign allegiance, and who
have entirely ceased to lie part and
parcel of the life of this country
Some examinations that have been
made by the present administration
have disclosed incidents Of gross fraud
in drawing these pensions. 1t is noted
that longevity is greatly promoted by
the native air of these stipendiaries.
Deaths are rarely reported among them.
In many instances frauds by substitu-
ton have occurred.

1t is curious the way people take to
the pen. In December, 1885, the Youths
Companion offered prizes for serial and
short stories to the amount of $1,000.
Over six thousand manuscripts were
submitted, and corps of assistant edi-
tors spent all last summer reading
them. The most curious feature of the
incident was that every prize was
awarded to a writer comparatively un-
known to the world Of letters. The
same thing happened the year before,

Business looming.

No matter if people will per-
sist in saying it is a dull season,
it's patent to all that we are do
ing a rushing business. 1t is
very plain that our efforts to
please the people in goods and
prices are appreciated, as the
numerous visits to our large
store will testify.
The general public read our
advertisements, think over them,
and can see that they are not
only safe in buying Of the 'Lit-
tie Dutchman," but that they
are getting the best, newest and
purest goods in the market at
prices that surprise all.
1t has always been the aim
of J..C. Saur to save money for
his customers. This you should
not forget, and also remember
that when he does you up apre-
scription he uses nothing but
strictly pure goods. His drugs
and chemicals are pure and
fresh, and he sells them cheap
er than any other house in this
section of Ohio, at retail or
wholesale. If you want good
results from medicine, it will
surelyfollow by getting your
medicines of the "Little Dutch
man," at whose store you will
find every known remedy for
every known disease. He will
not sell any articles but what
he knows to be pure and fresh.
And, as this is the season of the
year when you are probably
thinking of repapering and re-
painting your house, we ask
your careful attention to Saur's
stock of Wall and Window Pa
pers. He is still and always has
been the "Wall Paper King"
and this season especially he
has outdone himself in selecting
styles and patterns that will
please all. Prices. on these
goods are so low that the poor
est man of a family can afford
to make his home comfortable
and attractive. There is moth
ing that adds more to a home
than a neat pattern Of paper on
the walls.
Bear in mind that Saur car
ries the largest stock Of Wall
Paper in this section Of country
He buys direct from the manu-
facturers in large quantities.
and always gives his customers
the benefit of this, as it enables
him to sell at cheaper prices
than smaller dealers can sell at

such a small outlay win buy
such beautiful paper and ado

come in and try it.
Also, Saur's is headquarters
